Have you ever wondered what it would look like if people just kept going despite all the barriers stacked against them? The documentary The Bending Arc, directed by Kief Davidson and Pedro Kos, digs deep into that very idea—showing how ordinary individuals, through sheer commitment and a belief in human dignity, can slowly, steadily tilt…
You don’t stumble upon a film like Four Daughters every day. It isn’t merely a documentary, nor is it purely a work of fiction. It’s a blend of personal testimony and reenactment, a unique approach that takes you on a deeply emotional and thought-provoking journey. But from a Christian lens, this film evokes much more…
There’s something undeniably magnetic about Knock Down the House—a documentary that’s less about politics and more about persistence, grit, and the raw power of a united community. Directed by Rachel Lears, this film centers on four remarkable women, each determined to break through the suffocating barriers of a political system they believe fails the people….
There’s something uniquely exhilarating about a film that seems simple on the surface but, the more you sit with it, reveals layers of complexity. Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India is that kind of movie. On the face of it, it’s a classic underdog sports film—villagers take on their oppressive British rulers in a…
Have you ever watched a film and found yourself not entirely sure what to make of it? Not in a “What just happened?” kind of way, but more in a “This feels like real life, and real life is complicated” sort of way. That’s the sensation I got after watching My Happy Family, a Georgian…

The movie’s title is a bit of a mouthful, I’ll give you that. “The Body Remembers When The World Broke Open.” But don’t be fooled. It’s not some bloated art-house indulgence dripping in pretension. It’s more like a quiet punch to the gut that you feel long after the credits roll—a film that speaks softly…
Ever had something ripped from your hands—something you didn’t just want to create but had to, a piece of your soul you slaved over, only to see it slip into someone else’s grasp and vanish? That’s the nightmare Shirkers drops you into. It’s a documentary by Sandi Tan, a director who lost her own film,…
Let’s talk about Time Out (originally titled L’Emploi du Temps). If you’re expecting a fast-paced thriller or a neatly packaged drama, you won’t find it here. This is one of those rare films that sneaks up on you, unsettling you in ways you can’t quite put into words. Laurent Cantet directs, but it’s Aurélien Recoing’s…
Death. There’s no topic more sobering, no reality more unavoidable. It’s the shared destination we all reach someday. But what if we could face it with a smile—or at least with a wry grin?
